I finally “finished” my theme for this site. I am also releasing it to the world. If you use Wordpress and want your site to look exactly like mine, go download my theme right now! I have done several themes in the past, but this is the only one I’ve ever made for general use and I think it’s the best looking one I’ve ever done. Let me know if you like it and if you find any bugs, send me a note.
So the new theme is finally here. I can tell you right now it needs a lot of tweaking, but it is complete enough to start using it. I’m dissatisfied with the sidebar and the pages, archives, and other stuff were just thrown together this morning. I’ll keep working on it though. I’ve kept it sufficiently generic that I should be able to release it as a theme that anyone can install on their Wordpress blog. You know… when it’s finished.
I’ve got most of the styling done for my new theme. The new theme has a tabbed nav bar and a sidebar that is widget capable. I’m also taking the time to style the default Wordpress widgets that come with WP 2.5 of which I have a beta copy installed on my Macbook. I still have to create templates for pages, singles, comments, etc., so there is still quite a bit of work to be done. I’m also looking at creating some WP plugins as well, but more on that later.
Here’s another screenshot for you to check out.
Just a small update. I managed to get a lot done on my theme today. Here is what it looks like. It’s not really where I thought I’d be going with the theme, but I like this current theme so much that I thought I’d do something similar, but not broken in IE 6. So it’s been quite a challenge to say the least.
I updated my theme. It took me about 3 working days to put it all together if you total up all the time I spent on it. I was never satisfied with the previous theme. It was fugly. So check this one out and let me know what you think of it and report any bugs you find.
